Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

Lower eyelid surgery to contour the herniated orbital fat that creates fullness under the eyes where the fat is approached by an incision made behind the lower eyelid. This approach avoids an incision on the surface of the eyelid and also minimizes the risk of altering the contour of the eyelid margin after surgery. In many cases, the eyelid fat can be preserved and rotated into the hollow under eyes. This is referred to as arcus marglinalis release (see above) and this can also be performed through the same incision.
